[Zope] ZPT - using templates based on variables

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 15:57:30 +0100

Just a note to say this is possible and works remarkably well:

By changing this line to

       metal:use-macro="here/StandardLookAndFeel/macros/master">

 line with something like

      metal:use-macro="python:path('here/%s/macros/master' %
path('here/lookandfeel'))">

Where 'lookandfeel' is a property of the containing folder.

This means that I can use ZPT to 'skin' my site, yay, happy me!
